But It Might Work For Us

"From the 1940s until the late 1980s, the majority view within the Labour Party was against joining (and, then, in favour of leaving) the European Economic Communities", later known as the European Union. Yet by the 2016 Brexit referendum, among Labour members, supporters and most MPs, Euroscepticism had become a byword for imperial nostalgia and racism. We spoke to Richard Johnson, Senior Lecturer in the Politics and International Relations School at Queen Mary, University of London to find out how this change happened, the history of resistances to Europe on the left, and the consequences for Keir Starmer today. PLUS we hear the left-wing case for the UK monarchy!

The petty-bourgeoisie is the social base for both modern conservatism - for Trump, Boris and Brexit - AND the contemporary radical left. Yet it is also the most misrecognized and disavowed class, and - as the class of the Chuds and the Deanos -the class it's most permitted to mock. Dan Evans is author of a crucial new book, A Nation of Shopkeepers: The Unstoppable Rise of the Petty Bourgeoisie (Repeater Books), giving a brand new account of the shape of this strange class, and calling for a new radical political coalition of working class and petty bourgeois tradespeople and small business owners. The Deano meme can be found here.
